Bulk upsert with _id path rather than explicit _id

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello experts,

I'm trying to do a bulk upsert with an _id path on ES 0.90.3. This saves
me the need to explicitly state the _id at upsert time. However, I can't
seem to get it working and I'm sure I'm doing something silly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/val123/tweet/_mapping -d '{ "tweet" : {
"_id" : { "path" : "post_id" } } }'
echo "Should be fine"

curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/val123/tweet/_bulk -d '
{"update":{}}
{"doc": {"message" : "You know, for Search", "post_id" : "123"},
"doc_as_upsert": true}
'
echo 'Should throw error:
{"error":"ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: id is
missing;]","status":500}'

Yeah. Bulk process does not read document content but only headers and then pass content (index/update/delete request) to the right shard.
To extract the right shard, we need to know the _id without parsing the body itself.

I'm afraid you must provide it.
